In Driver 2 for PS1 I went into full first person and pretended I was on a reality TV show about people speeding and dealing with the consequences, often it was like some guy speeding to Disney World with his son and then a full fledged cop chase.

it depends, am I like wacky kart racing, or like semi-realistic stunt driving or is it like burnout where I'm supposed to be crashing into things?

going out of your camera comfort zone can also be a nice little challenge :)

doing this challenge (no hitting the civilian cars) was the first time I ever used cockpit view for an extended period, it really expanded my horizons

This game is perfect for empty-headed dunces that don't like to think much!! Of course, I'm a genius... I wonder why I'm so good at it?!
I prefer my view to be 1st person from the passenger's seat. Then I don't have the stress of driving, can enjoy the virtual view, and can offer helpful driving tips to the driver.

For Gran Turismo, first person without the interior invisible (is that technically on the hood)

for F1 2013, the TV-like angle that's just above the driver's helmet

Cockpit view for realistic games, 3rd person for arcadey games. still waiting on an Xbone game where if i flip off another player in real life my driving avatar flips them off in game.

Oh, this would be excellent. Something to keep in mind for Kinect Joy Ride 2?

im pretty sure in forza 1 they did some kind of magic with the behind close view because you can actually see the road decently but in the grand turismo games i can only play in fp view

Depends on the game really. First person usually because the field of vision is less obstructed.

Only riding a cab in GTA IV offers you this experience. Hopefully 1st person mode in GTA V will bring back this exciting element of car games.

My last hope for this was Crazy Taxi but it turned out you were the one driving the taxi in that game and not just riding in it and I was very disappointed. Maybe I will try GTA and hope it can deliver the driving experience I enjoy.

Was so disappointed when I got in cab in V and it forced 3rd person / cinematic camera.

But they are making that up to us with first person mode

third person makes Stunts too easy. Where's the challenge? The thrill of the Game?

Driver's seat view on a TV is just weird cause of the lack of peripheral vision, and how they often don't have functioning mirrors and a way to look at them easily.

This, however, is pretty rad. But why does the car have the wheel in the middle.
